How much do you do in one dose? I'm doing about 2 pea-sized piles per nostril and with the weak-med nic strength snuffs I have now this is the only way to feel anything and I add the same amount about every 30 mins. Is this too little or should I be shoveling more in?
gashin....Those amounts seem about average..and would probably put you near the 1g per day mark! I am closer to the 1/2g per,as I just use my snuff when I feel the urge coming on(about once per hour for me)!

Greetings and good morn Gashin

Would those be fresh-pea, dried-pea or split-pea size pinches? ;)

I s'pose I usually use a pinch about equal in size to an apple seed, (that would be Granny Smith). And I take those pinches at every opportunity!

Several folks have stated that they average several grams a day but for myself, perhaps 1g a day total. Now that is a complete guess mind, pulled out o' the hip pocket.

Edit: Hullo Wiz!

I think I am using about a gram a day, and how much depends on the snuff, moister snuffs I tend to use a good pea sized portion, dryer snuffs just a little pinch that goes half into each nostril.

I have oversnuffed and as DB says you will know, heart racing, a little nervous, which can make you think you need more nicotine.

Hi Gashin, In my short journey from last October to now of quitting cigarettes to vaping, snus and snuff.

My personal needs as I tried to figure myself out over that period:D 5-7 snus a day for absolute maintenance. A must have.

Then I learned another 'must have for me' is snuff. Now that I'm all over the board..at work using bullets is every 30-45 minutes. Or I can get so busy and forget and it'll be hourly.;)

But, at home for pure pleasure I can sample every 10/15 minutes or so sitting here at the computer without any bad effects at all. I don't get nervous, but high nicotine can keep me awake at night, so I switch off to a lower type.

Personally I think I rate high on needing both MAOIs from snus and high on nicotine from snuff.

At least that works for me right now, but I do wonder if it could change the longer I work with the combination of snus/snuff.:D

a gram is a good and godly ammount.
honestly even when I am horrible stressed It is still less than that. if it is an american scotch a few grains is enough it is soo light and fluffy.

Mind you I do not really measure, depending on them a finger dip in the snuff like the sparrow is pretty decent.

Very true, all snuffs are not created equal:D I constantly rotate which snuffs I'm using throughout the day, but I usually always have a mixture of american sweet scotches in my snuffbox. If it's something like Rooster, I only need to dip the tip of my finger in the can to get enough. Something like Toque Pomegranate or Toque SP extra, I can take several pea-sized pinches. I probably take a pinch or two every 30min-1hour, but sometimes I may go a whole day without snuffing until the evening.

I like "roughly equal to" analogies: A pack a day smoker needs a Toque-sized bullet a day.

I never do that much, because I go through so many snus and Stonewalls every day, along with e-smoking. But if it were to be snuff alone, most of us would have to do a bullet a day (keeps the cravings away!).
TB....It must be the vaping that keeps me from the 1g per day mark. I'm sure if I were to give up vaping my snuff use would increase. I'm still at 1/2g per day snuff and 1-2ml per day(24-36mg) e-liquid.Seems to be my everyday comfort zone!(Still have my snus and stonewalls for periodic breakdowns:D)
